WTF, Jesus??? Only two Revivifies? WTF

So. Startin a 5e Campaign. Core idea involves a post gotterdamarung world, pre industrial post apocalyptic. The players start off in a little town in the middle of nowhere that kinda sat out the end of the world, but got periodic waves of refugees, ant that petered out about 15 years ago. They get tasked to see what's left of the world, wind up getting a hint from a god based on Nayenezgani to go talk to one based on Kali who guards the bridge between the world of the living and the dead who will tell them that lich made the moon into a phalyactery. Depending on what they do, they will discover that there is a literal spirit that represents the moon that they can kill, but the moon will disappear and that will fuck up the tides and literally everything else if they do it, or they can try and transmute the moon into a new material using alchemy. In any case they have to climb a celestial staircase along the aurora borealis and pass the corpse of the god who used to defend the plane from abominations from the astral plane.

So far, my party includes:
Naieve Tieflng paladin
Tiefling warlock who's player is chaotic irl
neurotic Aaracorcra ranger
aubrey plaza cleric
detective wizard

Currently in a two-party campaign, with one party comprised mostly of locals, and the second containing players that live out of state or at least 3+ hours from the GM's house (one party plays from noon to 6, the second plays from 6 to midnight).
One of the long-distance players is playing a straight Paladin, with a focus on damage output and whose character basically wants to kill everything and powertrips (which is why he's leader of the evening party).
I'm leading the afternoon party, based solely upon the fact the DM and I are prior-service Army, so he can think of no one else more competent to lead them.
Evening party has D&D veterans in it, while my team has newbs.
Since the newbs have new to the 5E mechanics, I'm pushing them towards roleplay and simple tactics; threat avoidance.
We head out to meet some baddies to parley with, and the Powertripper decides to join us, bringing along a half dozen hired NPCs.
Myself and the player with the highest CHA in the afternoon team, win initiative and open negotiations.
The rest of my team make up the rest of the initiative.
The Pallie and his hireling go after the monsters.
Pallie attacks monsters.
DM: "Well, you rolled well on your persuasion/negotiation. If only he hadn't attacked them..."

The Paladin's player also likes to take a long time talking about what his character's doing, then complains while watching my team play, that my guys aren't doing anything, or that we waste time.

So would anyone here be interested in an Only War game?
Sun or Sat nights. Discord/Roll20 or possibly just IRC (been so long since I used IRC for anything).

I would be the mediocre GM and my woman would be a player (she knows nothing of 40k and thus would make the perfect Imperial citizen turned guardsman).

There was one Metal Gear game for the PSP handheld that was made nearly unplayable because your character would go into convulsions (before collapsing from starvation) if he didn't eat something every other minute. And Snake Eater had an elaborate system of finding lots of different things to eat (and go rotten if you did not eat some of the perishable things quick enough) that just distracted and slowed down this action game about who-gives-a-shit eating. Fucking stupid as hell.

  >>59254
I still standby that MGS:V:TPP is a masterpiece.

Metal Gear has always had a bit of retardation/fanboyism built in. Just roll with it.

  >>59255
I can give no personal opinion of the Phantom Pain since I stopped playing any Metal Gear game after Snake Eater, but friends told me of the MGS5's Ground Zeros $40 demo that had about a "half an hour of gameplay" and the only replayability was in trying to speedrun it within five minutes. That was just the kleptomaniacal kretins at Konami releasing a portion of an uncompleted game for a quick cash-grab. Screw that. And I will have nothing to do with pay-to-win microtransaction games.

MGSV:GZ should be basically free by now and I got 19 hours out of it.

MGSV:TPP is $20 on steam and I got 189 hours out of it, and I've been thinking about doing another play through at some point.

  I am getting the idea that some people don't like this game very much...

This was a giant p2w hackfest when it was created. How is it going to be any better now?

  >>58971
Oh sure, I'll probably back it too. Was just poking some fun at how similar it is.

I backed it. Looks very intriguing.

  48 hours left fyi, and here's a video of a boss battle.

This YouTuber has done a pretty great job of documenting the information we've gotten about the setting, factions, technology and backdrop of Phoenix Point in this playlist.

I'm very interested.

  I didn't back the Fig campaign but the recent stuff they've been showing off looks really nice.

>>59241
I saw the part where you walked left instead of right, but is there any gameplay?

FDL is all about picking your fights, and really doesn't do well on Hazardous RESs or USS dropping. Your biggest assets are speed (seriously, a FDL with G3 dirty drives will outrun anything that isn't a dedicated racer), manoeuvrability and that massive ventral hardpoint. Your shields WILL melt under sustained fire, and fucking fast at that, so make sure they're at full charge before you engage, and pack some booster cells, god knows every NPC does. A good rule of thumb is that a FDL can kill Big 3 ships, but it can't fight them. In a straight duel, your ass is grass. So the trick is to either wing up, or work closely with the local space cops. Oh yeah, and as soon as an enemy's shields go down, drop over to target selection and take aim for their powerplant.

The Gunship is a completely different beast, and honestly I'm still not sure if I like it much, and shouldn't have gone with a FAS instead. It's a Core Dynamics, so it's got the handling and flight characteristics of a Conex box with thrusters welded to the end, and some pretty mediocre hardpoints, but it CAN actually take some punishment without falling apart.

Would love to try a large combat ship, but I don't have the patience to grind for a Corvette, which leaves me with either an Anaconda or the dreaded Type-10. I spend more than enough time in an Anaconda exploring and don't even want to think about how much kitting one out for combat would be, and the Type-10 is...no. Shit distributor, massively huge, poor convergence on the hardpoints and almost requires multicrew to handle all that dakka.

The Chieftain is looking pretty interesting, though, definitely picking one of those up.

>>59228
An engineered Anaconda is a great explorer, but yeah, it takes some work. You only really need to unlock Elvira Martuuk or Felicity Farseer and Lei Cheung, most of the other stuff is just swapping to the minimum functional internal size...and dropping 90 million on a 7A fuel scoop, that stings a bit. But with a couple good rolls you can cover 55Ly+ per jump, which makes deep-space trips a lot less of a drag. I pack a class 4 shield generator for planetary landings (with the thrusters you'll be using, anything above 1.5G gets...touchy), dual AFMUs for neutron hopping, and the usual SRV hangar and heatsinks and shit.

Almost run into the star in that quagmire over here. The central neutron star is rotating very close to the big star nearby, and while I was jumping in, I practically flew through it to landed 2 ls from the surface.

That's really just the FGS. I haven't tried the drop ship, but the other CD ships fly and fighter better than other manufacturers. I can't get over how dildos the Clipper is.

> A good rule of thumb is that a FDL can kill Big 3 ships, but it can't fight them.

Yeah, it's good for strafing runs. Looks pimp too.
